Pistons: Charles Barkley gets brutally honest on Dream Team, Isaiah Thomas debate

While it may be hard to remember now, the Detroit Pistons were once one of the NBA's beacons of prosperity, a perennial deep playoff contender in the late 1980's and early 1990's and winners of the championship multiple times under the leadership of legendary Hall of Fame point guard Isiah Thomas. Of course, the Pistons are now the league's symbol of ineptitude and have been going back the last decade-plus, but every once in a while, it's fun for fans to relieve their stress by remembering the glory days that Thomas, Dennis Rodman, Joe Dumars, and others brought back in their heyday. One of the most controversial moments of that era of the NBA occurred when Thomas was not selected to participate in the 1992 Dream Team for Team USA at the Olympics.
